Hey Luke,We're coming to the end of a lovely time in Hove. Sue and Roger came here today, your Mum made some delicious food, Dad drank too much (some things never change!) and we made a toast to you! The Blue Mountains look amazing! It looks like you're seeing a lot of the east coast. I'm wondering about your malaria tablets for South America, what ones will you take? I had to take them last year, and they were pretty full on.We all hope you're having a fabulous time. I'm sure New Year will be a blast and your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to keep the party going until your birthday!Mum, Dad and Jo send lots of love. Have a good 'un!Jenxx

Lukest,

Thanks for the Aborigine painting for Christmas! That must have cost you a fortune sending all that stuff in the post!!!!

Jud and I have sent you a combined Birthday and Chrimbo pressie by way of an electronic funds transfer so you can spend it on what you need (and what you can carry!). So enjoy yourself (even more!).

Love Gary and Judxxx

Hi Luke

Read your note about the Blue Mountains -They sound super. I'm so glad you are enjoying yourself. Thank you very much for the card. Your Mum brought it up today with the children's presents.

I hope you have a super Christmas whereever you spend it .We will be thinking of you.

Lots of love Roger and Sue

Hi Luke. Just checking up on you. I have been up the sky tower and in the aquarium (not in the water.....) when I was in Sydney. Freezing down here in Devon just now. Wishing you a hot and Happy Christmas. Love Linda

KEEP OUT OF THE WATER PLEASE!!! SHARK BITES MAN'S BOTTOMA surfer was bitten on his buttocks by a shark on Australia's east coast today.The 31-year-old man was airlifted to a hospital after being attacked while surfing at a beach north of Sydney.

Luke I sent you an e-mail but failed to do the sum will it get through? I hope so if not I'll be in touch again before Christmas. Keep on having a super time.

Lots of love Roger and Sue

Luke I am shocked! The C word in your blog - outrageous!!! Am v envious of your adventures though.

We will miss you at Christmas!

"pine, whine, pine, lick, woof" - that's from Lucky watching out for you at the sitting room window...

Lukster!

Great to read your blog - makes me wish I was 18 again! oh maybe not, I don't think I could handle all those hangovers again!!!!

Keep up the fun,

Gary.

sounds like there's far too much drinking and having fun going on - also do you know your computer has a spell check !! - just making sure we fulfil the parental role !!
